The Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) battled hard through Sunday to restore power supply to city areas hit by disruptions in the lashing rains on October 14 (Saturday) night.
Stormwater from the nearby Thettiyar canal flooded the 110 kV substation at Kazhakootam forcing the KSEB to switch off 11 kV feeders as a precaution. Consequently, supply to several areas under the Kazhakootam, Kulathur, and Sreekaryam electrical sections was hit, the KSEB said.
KSEB officials attempted to provide alternate supply while corrective measures were being implemented.
